“Very friendly staff”

I spend a week in this hotel. The staff is very friendly although they do not speak English most of them. The room is extremely clean and- if you are not facing the street - it is very quite as well.

I spend a week in this hotel. The staff is very friendly although they do not speak English most of them. The room is extremely clean and- if you are not facing the street - it is very quite as well. The building is old but very well renovated. The sauna in the basement is great. Clean and private. One can have a very nice stay in this hotel if he can leave with some small issues which actually made me not to rate them 5 overall. Those will be: 1. The jacuzzi in the sauna area does not work 2. The walls are not very good soundproof and sometimes you can hear the tv from next door 3. They do not inform that sauna is for money. 6 Euro, not a big deal, I would have taken it anyway but they shall inform in advance 4. Quite high price in my opinion 67 Euro with breakfast included while there is better in Goerlitz The good points: 1. Good breakfast 2. Breakfast ready prepared at 7am 3. Extremely clean 4. Good location 5. Nice bed I added pictures for reference

“Near center, silent”

Stayed there on my business trip, very nice. Near the walking zone. You cannot hear the tram. Very nice city during Christmas time. Breakfast was great. Staff was very friedly to expect me late in the evening. Was nice that in the room was bottles of water every day. The room was cleaned every day.

This hotel is not affiliated with the ACCOR hotel group. I think that it is named after the 15th Meridian, which runs through the eastern part of town. We stayed here in September of 2010. We were curious about Gorlitz, after reading about it in the Rick Steve's guidebook. However, all of the hotels in Gorlitz, which were recommended by Rick Steves, were sold out for the first weekend of September, so we took a chance on the Hotel Meridian - and are glad that we did. The room was the largest of any we stayed in, during our recent trip through Europe ( Germany, mostly ). The bed was nice - I slept soundly. There was a new flat screen color TV in the room - but no English language channels ( German and Polish, only ). The breakfast buffet was included in the rate, and they would even make you ham & eggs, if you asked. The bathroom was clean and big enough - shower only, no tub. There is a sauna in the basement, but I did not use it. There is no elevator in the hotel. The hotel is not air-conditioned. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk from the train station. It looked like it was going to rain, when we arrived in Gorlitz, so we took a taxi to the hotel. Now, you should also know that another thing that you will not find much of at the hotel - or in Gorlitz - is anyone who can speak English. You MUST have your German phrase book and/or pocket dictionary with you at all times, while in Gorlitz. I had intended to teach myself German before going on this trip, but was too busy with work to make much progress, before I left. None of the restaurants in town had English menus, except for the Piwnica Staromiejska restauraunt, which is actually in Poland, on the other side of the Old Town pedestrian bridge ( dirt cheap - dinner for 2, with drinks, less than $40 - and they take Visa ). As one of the few towns in Germany that was not destroyed during WW2, Gorlitz is a must see place. Most of the town has been beautifully preserved. If you walk across the bridge into Poland, you will see a part of the town which has been not so well preserved ( called Zgorzelec, after the borders were re-drawn after WW2 ). The beautiful Hertie department store in Gorlitz has gone bankrupt. I guess too many of the locals were shopping at the Carrefour hypermarket on the Polish side, in Zgorzelec. Do visit Gorlitz, if you are in the eastern part of Germany. Just wander through the beautiful streets. And do stay at the Hotel Meridian, as it is very clean and comfortable - I had my best nights sleep there. Just don't forget your phrase book, unless you are already fluent in German.
